Faster than most US sprint triathlons
The fastest quarter of the 2023 sprint triathlon field finished under 1:20:52, against 1:24:09 in a typical US sprint triathlon, so times here run 4 percent faster.
Compares the fastest quarter of each field, so walkers and first-timers do not skew it. It reflects the course and the field together: a flat course, cool weather, or a competitive crowd all make times faster.
Around June 20 the day usually runs from 52°F at dawn to 73°F in the afternoon, with measurable rain on about 17% of days. Cold snaps dip to 47°F and hot years reach 88°F.
